Quicken Loans Named One of Cleveland Plain Dealer’s 2011 ‘Northeast Ohio Top Workplaces’

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 22, 2011

Quicken Loans, Inc., the nation’s largest online retail mortgage lender has been named to the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s 2011 “Northeast Ohio Top Workplaces” list. With more than 300 team members onsite, the Cleveland Web Center ranked fourth among midsize companies (defined as companies with 150-499 local employees).

Since opening the Cleveland office in 2006, the site has grown as a result of hiring team members across mortgage banking, human resources and the VA loans unit, a team dedicated to supporting active and retired military.

“When we launched the Cleveland location we made a commitment to attract and grow talented individuals who are excited to live our culture and serve as a testament to the work ethic of this region,” said Jeff Perry, Vice President of the Quicken Loans Cleveland Web Center. “This award is an honor and especially gratifying because it’s based on the feedback of our own people - the most valuable asset we have.”

The newspaper partnered with consultant WorkplaceDynamics of Exton, Pa., to coordinate months of analysis and compile results from more than 46,000 employee surveys. Based on the number of employees in Northeast Ohio, companies were categorized by large, midsize and small and then ranked based on employee feedback.

Companies, nonprofits and government agencies in 11 counties with at least 50 people employed in Northeast Ohio were eligible to participate. Whether invited by the public or WorkplaceDynamics, 235 employers (19 percent of the companies invited) participated in the survey and 132 were ranked.
